Can't increase the wait_for_ssh timeout

What times out exactly? Does it take > 5 minutes for the target to shut down, or > 5 minutes for the target to come back up? Which runner are you using (ssh/qemu/lxc/etc.)? Can you please attach a log with --debug on both adt-run and the adt-virt-* you are using? Thanks!

Sorry, yesterday I left the test running in a loop to see if we hit the issue, because I was not sure if the machine booted. Now I have more information.

This is snappy and we are testing the failover boot. So the target shuts down, restarts, it fails to boot, switches to the previous partition and boots again. Here is the full log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12193270/

It's taking less than 80 seconds to boot. We are using the adt-virt-ssh, and it fails on wait_for_ssh, which seems to have a timeout of 300. So I'm confused.

Here's the machine log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12193252/

I didn't run it with -d for adt-virt-ssh, so I'll trigger the loop again.

That was fast. Here's the log with ssh -d:

Ok, now I saw it while it timed out.
Here's the adt-run log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12194656/
Here's the test bed log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12194655/

The test bed prints:
[ 43.036745] systemd[1]: Started udev Coldplug all Devices.

And gets stuck there for more seconds.

That's when adt-run prints:
<VirtSubproc>: failure: Timed out on waiting for ssh connection

After some more time, the machine prints:
Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch) snappy-rolling-edge ttyS0

And I can ssh into it.

So, we need to increase the wait_for_ssh timeout.

Thanks! I adjusted that slightly: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git/commit/?id=242ab7a86

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.17.1

---------------
autopkgtest (3.17.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add new private python modules to Makefile, to actually ship them.
  * tests/adt-run: Fix test regression when $ADT_TEST* are not set.
